Chapter 1472: The Best Choice

The bombing of an apartment building on the edge of Jinling’s Second Ring shocked the entire Pan-Asia. Liu Zhengxing, who was stupidly hiding behind the scenes waiting for “good news”, was scared.

Even though the identity of the tenant of the apartment was not revealed in the news for privacy reasons, he still used some clues in the news and other people’s reactions to determine who the assassin was.

Because just an hour after he saw the news, he received at least three calls related to this matter.

One of them was from the office of the Chairman of the Pan-Asian Cooperation, and the other was from the Public Security Bureau of the Yangtze River Delta city group, and the last... the one that surprised and angered him the most was from the Pan-Asian Cooperation Security Bureau.

The other party didn’t say much. In the phone call that lasted less than two minutes, they simply stated that he was a major suspect and issued a notice to restrict his travels, and they hoped that he would cooperate with the investigation during this period.

It was not a pleasant thing to be targeted by this kind of regional alliance-level intelligence organization, especially for a terrorist attack.

At this moment, Liu Zhengxing couldn’t even describe the anger and panic in his heart.

A person who could rival his position in the East Asia Energy board had just crawled out of a coffin; this was enough to make him feel anxious. And now his stupid “allies” actually performed an assassination!

These idiots!

If he could, he would kill the unknown assassin instantly!

“Did you do that explosion?!”

In the holographic conference room.

Sitting at the conference table, Liu Zhengxing’s eyes were red. The veins on his forehead were bursting. He stared at the person across the conference table.

In fact, there was still a little hope in his heart at this moment.

He wanted to hear that person deny everything.

This way, besides him, there were at least three suspects on the board. That annoying Morinaga was also one of them.

However, the faceless man sitting across the conference table made him feel desperate with just one sentence.

“Sort of.”

“What do you mean sort of?!” Liu Zhengxing put his hands on the table. He spat out angrily, “I just asked you to help me investigate his information, how can you do such unnecessary things without authorization! Every pig knows that the attack has something to do with me! I have received at least three calls so far, every one of them was terrible!”

He swore that he had never considered sending a killer to solve the troublesome Lu Zhou, even though this seemingly once-and-for-all option was really tempting.

He just wanted to entrust the faceless man sitting opposite him to investigate Lu Zhou’s network of relations in this era through their foundation and use this to dig out his weaknesses or where he could cooperate obediently.

However, he never would have imagined that the idiot would send a killer and that he even used the high-profile means of bombs.

This was Earth!

Pan Asia!

Not the barbaric society on Mars!

This behavior of breaking the rules not only forced him into a vulnerable position but also made his supporters on the board of directors vacillate.

After listening to Liu Zhengxing’s complaint quietly, the faceless man sitting across the conference table looked at him blankly. As if he didn’t take his anger to heart at all, the man said in a slow tone.

“Our foundation has made the judgment that his existence may bring uncertain variables to our plan. It is the best choice to let him lay in a coffin again.”

“The best choice? Who do you think you are! Do you know what we are facing now?” Liu Zhengxing laughed angrily. “The Pan-Asian Cooperation Security Bureau has taken action! The world’s most powerful intelligence organization on the Internet now suspects me. Do you think you can run away? I’m taking the risk of talking to you; stop the stupid assassination attempts!”

His chest undulated violently, Liu Zhengxing stared at the faceless man. However, what made him feel tricky was that the man seemed to have not heard what he said at all; he did not take his warning to heart at all.

He clenched his fists, then slowly loosened them.

After hesitating in his heart, Liu Zhengxing finally made up his mind and took a deep breath.

“I have warned you, it is you who broke the rules first!”

The faceless man’s chin was slightly lifted, seemingly to look at him with interest.

“Oh, really?”

“I will surrender and clarify all this.” Liu Zhengxing stared at the man and continued, “No matter what you want to do, I have nothing to do with you! I have never hired any assassins, never thought of letting that person die! Everything was done on your own volition!”

With a hint of sarcasm in his voice, the faceless man smiled lightly.

“But who would believe you?”

“Do you think I didn’t leave a way out for myself?” Liu Zhengxing smiled coldly and continued, “I have saved the video record of the meeting and kept it in a safe place.”

In fact, when he said this, there was still a trace of hope in his heart. He hoped to be able to force the madman in front of him to concede. After all, surrendering was only a last resort, not the best choice.

However, his hope was once again lost.

The faceless man sitting at the conference table gently lifted his chin and turned his eye to the door.

“Sounds interesting... Do you mean that thing?”

Liu Zhengxing was slightly stunned. He then stiffly turned his neck and followed the direction that the faceless man’s chin was pointing in. He looked towards the door of the conference room.

The door was undoubtedly still closed.

However, a robot wearing a cleaner’s uniform was standing inside. In his left hand, the robot was carrying a black suitcase.

As soon as he saw the suitcase, Liu Zhengxing’s pupils shrank slightly.

He soon calmed down. He looked at the faceless man sitting across the conference table and said with a deep voice, “What do you want?”

There was a hint of relaxed laughter.

When Liu Zhengxing heard the laughter, for some reason, it made him feel terrified.

“I don’t want anything, I just want to return it to you and borrow one more thing from you.”

Liu Zhengxing looked at the robot who walked to his side and put the suitcase in front of him. He frowned and said with some uncertainty, “What thing?”

“Life.”

When he heard this word, Liu Zhengxing was slightly stunned.

He felt a slight tingling in his neck, then he lost consciousness; his pupils drooped and his head dropped.

Retracting the nano syringe in his hand, the robot took out a black pistol from his arms and placed it in Liu Zhengxing’s hands.

Then, it held Liu Zhengxing’s right hand, pointed the muzzle at his own head, and pushed his index finger on the trigger.

Bang!

The fire flickered, gun smoke dispersed.

Blood and pieces of brain splashed all over the floor.

The robot let go of his right hand and let the arm holding the pistol slump into the chair.

The robot methodically made some simple adjustments to the death scene and disguised it as a suicide. The robot cast an empty sight on the faceless man sitting at the conference table and bowed towards him. He then formatted the storage data of the holographic conference and turned off the power of the conference table.

After the faceless man disappeared in the blue light, the robot also turned and left the meeting room, leaving only the black suitcase and the corpse leaning on the chair.

When the people in the group building finally found out that their chairman committed suicide in the conference room, it was already seven hours later.

Chester, hiding in the suburbs of Jinling City, also made another move towards his goal...
